SASH MOUNTNG.

Application filed .Tune 19, 1923. Serial No. 646,340.

To all 'whom t may concern.' p

Be it'known that I, ARTHUR C. Seurin, a citizen of the United States,and a resident of the city and county ot' San Francisco, State ofCalifornia, have made a new and useful invention, to wit, Improvementsin Sash Mountings; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full,clear, concise, and exact description ot the same.

This invention relates particularly to a mounting for supporting andcontrolling the opening and closing movements of av sash or otheranalogous enclosures.

An object of the invention is to provide a sash mounting which is simplein construction, easily installed, demoimted and adjusted, which willsupport a sash uniformly in all adjustments and permit the sash to besubstantially reversed on its mounting.

A further object ot fthe. invention is t0 provide a sash guidingmechanism for controlling and regulating the opening and closingmovement of a swinging sash within a window frame, and having means toin crease or .diminish the reeness ci movement of the moving parts ofthe sash guiding mechanism.

A still further object of the invention is to provide a window framehaving a sash slidably and pivotally related thereto by means offrictionally adjustable. supporting arms, connecting the sash and frame,for maintaining the sash in any open position against wind pressure andthe like. Other objects and advantages will appear as this descriptionprogresses.

ln this specification and the annexed drawings, the invention isillustrated in the form considered to be the best, but it is to beunderstood that the invention is not limited to such form, because itmay be embodied in other forms, and it is also to be understood that inand by the claims following the description, it is desired to cover theinvention in whatsoever form it may be embodied.

ln the accompanying two sheets of drawings,

Fig. l is a vertical cross-section taken through a window frame having asash mounted ther-ein in accordance with my invention.

'Fig 2 is a cross-section taken through Fig. l on the` line .2-2 showingthe sash in the closed or vertical position.

Fig. 3 is a section taken through Fig. 1 on the line 3 3, showing thesash in a vertical position within a window frame.

Fig. 4: is a vertical section through a window trame having a sashmounted therein on a` modified form of operating apiparatus.

- Fig. 5 is an enlarged `fragmentary crosssection taken through Fig. 4at the uppermost slide shoe and showing the sash in a closed or verticalposition. i

Fig. 6 is an enlarged section taken through Fig. l: on the line (5e-6.

Fig. 7 is a still further modified form of construction. i

Fig. 8 is a modified torni of guide track.

This invention relates to the pivoting of a window sash, on its oppositestiles at a pair oit corresponding points, to slide shoes which areslidably retained in a pair of independent and angularly arranged guideson opposite sides of a easement. Y

In detail, the construction illustrated in the drawings includes awindow frame composed of a sill l, stool 2, and side jambs 3, connectedacross the top by the lintel 4,. together with the usual stops 5, orother weatherprooling linish, mounted on the interior ci the jambs,stool and lintel.

A sash 6 is adapted to be mounted in the window trame and slidably andpivotallyfi connected at a pair ot corresponding points, on each of itsopposite stiles, to separate slide members one member of each `pairbeing confined to vertical and the other to horizontal movements on theadjacent side of the window frame.

The side jambs 3, of' the trame are either channeledto form guideways,as in Fig.' 7, or are provided with metal guideways 7 having ange edges8 thereon, shown in Figs. l through 3, which are adapted toi be securedin a relatively vertical position and in alignment with each other, onthe opposite side j ambs. The flange edges 8 of the channel gui'deways 7have holes therein, l through which nails or screws may passior iixedlysecuring the guideways to the said jambs. The stops 5 are adapted to besecured to the j ambs 3, to partially cover the guideways 7 so as tofinish the interior of the window `frame in accordance with standardpractice. The channel guideways 7 are preferably Jformed from metal otany desirable contour. li' desired, the guideway 7 could be providedwith means for regulating friction on the slide shoe by theconstruction' indicated in F ig. 8..

. Slide shoes 12, consisting of metal; members with flange'ends 11 areadapted to be slidably retained on the `guideways 7. The

' v flanges 11 project away from the guideways the; socket plates .tosecure ythe sashl and /socketl platestogether and tof permit theobtaining of: lateral adjustmentof thesash 6 within the window frame.`At the .upper ends'thel socket plates 19l are pivoted to the' flanges11, and at the lower ends, the said. socketv plates are pivoted to thehor'- zontal slide shoes 17, to be hereinafterl described in1 detail.Thismanner of mounting the opposite Stiles of thesash inthe socketplates isa` `convenient and economical method off. mounting ordemountingthe sash for con- Y nectioniV to its operating ixtures landelimi-v natesthev necessity of having to remove said fixtures from thewindow frame. The slide shoeS-f'1i2support the sash 6 for slidingmovement` inf al vertical direction, and` also per# Y mitlthesash to'beswung outwardly from a both jambe 31 of the window frame. guideways1,4-` are preferably placed at right l zontal and. vertical guides, willcross. The4 closed. verticalzposition to a substantially reversedposition.

Channel shaped guideways 14 are placed in a substantially horizontalvrpositionTon -he anglesato-gtheguideways 7 in order that the p-aths;-,ofrsliding4 movement, in both theV horisideijambs. are grooved out toreceive the guideways: 14l and to allow the outer faces ofthe guideways14 tovlie flush@ with the facesof thegjambs 3' and'v to pass under thevertically-positioned guideways?. Although have; shownlanddescribed thevertical and- I bothgguideways, integrally, in one element.

The slide `shoes 17 are connected bvf; thelpivots- 18,5 to the lower end lof. socketplates' 19, on oppositestilesof the sashv 6, hetiveenthe head rail` andv horizontal centerofrythesash.V Screws 21 pass through openings; provided` in the bentsides 16l ofl the guideways 14 into the jambs 3 for the pur- The sash 6,by means. of the verticallyY slidable shoes 12 and the horizontallyslid'- able shoes 17, may be thus supported with-1n the window frame andmoved fromy a closed vertical position intoI a substantially reversed,

position. The slide shoes 12 retained in the vertical guideways 7support the sash withinthe, window opening, andv additional, support isfurnished to the sash by the shoes 1'7 slid vng in the horizontalguideways, which support and give an accurate control over the movementof the sash.

In the modified form ofsashl mounting shown in Figs. 4, 5 and 6,vertically positioned guideways-7 are provided which extendapproximately the full length of the sash. The sash 6 is pivotallyconnected at its upper end by pivots 13 on the plates 23 to the slideshoes 11', slidably mountedfon the vertical guideways 7 Horizontalguideways 14 are mounted at corresponding points on the side jambs 3 inrecesses, or

grooves, provided in saidjambs andthe slide shoes 17 are slidablyconined in the guideways 14. Sash supporting arms l24 are pivoted at 25to the plates 25 on the opposite rabbetted stiles of the sash 6, atpoints intermediate the head rail 6 of said sash and the horizontalcenter thereof, The opposite ends of the arms 24. are pivoted at 26 to`slide shoes 27 (corresponding to the slide shoes 11 which are mountedfor movement in avertical direction on the guidel` ways 7. The` arms 24are pivoted interme-y diate their ends at 28 to the slide shoesl'mounted in the horizontal guideways 14.. Screws 20 are adapted to passthrough one side ofl the guideways 14. for creating friction on theslide shoes 17 arms 24v may be efectivel tion with the slide shoes 1 ofthe horizontal guideways, for supporting and controlling the opening andclosing movements ofay sash of a larger size than could bek convenientlyoperated by the mechanism shown in- Figs. 1 through 3y inclusive. Thearms 24, thus aid the slide shoes 11' yin supporting the weight of thesash 6.

Both of the sash 6 or 6 illustrated in the drawings, when operativelyinstalled in a window frame are opened by manually pushing outwardly onthe lower rail of said sash. The outward movement of the lower rail ofthe sash causes they slide shoes 11 or 11 (on the head rails of thesash)y to defA scend. As the ,upper railfof the sash a proaches thehorizontal plane, the sli 'e The supportused, in conjuncf` shoes 17 or17 in the horizontal guides, move outwardly. The horizontally movableslide shoes 17 or 17 serve to support the weight of the sash inconjunction with the supportof the sash controlled bythe slide shoes 1lor 11 on the vertical guides. The control of the sash in a window frameby either the preferred or modified forms of construction is identical.The modified form of construction is resorted to where the sash to besupported can not be conveniently manipulated and controlled by thepreferred form of sash mounting. A sash mounted in the manner describedmay be substantially reversed in a window opening so as to present itsouter surface to the interior of a room to facilitate washing.

Although I have shown 'and described a sash mounting with particularreferenceto a wooden window sash, it is to be understood thatit would beclearly within the purview of the invention to utilize the sash mountingon different kinds of windows and transoms. Although I have illustratedand described a vertically positioned sash adapted to operate in avertical plane it is to be understood the type of sash mounting`described could be applied equally as well to a casement window adaptedto operate in a horizontal plane.

Having thus described this invention, what I vclaim and desire to secureby' Letters Patent is:
